Marjorie Harris is a well-known Toronto champion of the urban garden, a space she sees as an extension of the living room and as a work of living art. Being that the garden is meant to be lived in, she is a strong believer in gardening safely without the use of chemicals. She describes the organic fertilizers, mulches, natural pest controls, and age-old gardening strategies that tip the balance of nature in favour of what she calls the "ecological garden." This is the updated and revised version.
